Abstract
Assay reagents, devices, methods and kits used in the analysis of low molecular weight analytes which by themselves are too small or unable to bind to two specific binding members at the same time. The invention involves the use of an analyte-substitute reagent (ASR) comprising at least two components, the first of which is identical to or an analog of the analyte to be determined, while the second is an unrelated ligand for which an antibody or other specific binding member can be obtained or produced.
